He operates his demon-hunting business from his shop, 'Devil May Cry,' where he takes on dangerous jobs, using his supernatural abilities and an arsenal of weapons to stylishly eliminate demonic threats.

In the anime series, Dante is of particular interest to the enigmatic White Rabbit, possibly due to his potent bloodline and the legacy of his father, Sparda.
